Voters have consistently backed abortion rights when the question is put directly to them, including in conservative states.
The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that the state can enforce its long-dormant law criminalising all abortions except when a mother’s life is at stake
“The girls today and the young women do not have the rights that we once did because of Donald Trump,” said Phoenix mayor Kate Gallego, a Democrat. “Donald Trump is dangerous and reckless.” It is a shift from two years ago when Ms Lake praised the 1864 law. Several Republican legislators called for the law to be repealed.“This issue should be decided by Arizonans, not legislated from the bench,” said US representative David Schweikert, an Arizona Republican who previously praised the overturning of Roe v Wade.
Meanwhile, the White House announced vice president Kamala Harris will travel to Arizona later this week to discuss abortion rights. Of the other major expected battlegrounds in the Biden-Trump rematch, Georgia outlaws abortions after about six weeks, while Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all allow abortions up to 20 weeks or later.
Mr Levin said the groups collecting signatures have already achieved the 384,000 valid signatures needed by July 4. Now, he said, they are aiming to hit 800,000 signatures by July.
